About Arenal, Monteverde, and the Northern Lowlands Hotels

A few sumptuous resorts hold court in northern Costa Rica, but this region is largely the province of smaller, nature-themed lodgings that invite you to partake of all their eco-activities, and offer good value. Due to the comfortable inland temperatures, most hotels do not have air-conditioning. Also, it's not uncommon for some hotels to request that toilet paper be disposed of in a bin rather than flushed down the toilet, due to local plumbing challenges. Hotel rooms are taxed at the national rate of 13%.
